Middle Schools in York Public Schools

York Public Schools in Maine has one outstanding middle school, York Middle School, which consistently ranks among the top 11 middle schools in the state. This school's exceptional academic performance, with students outperforming state and district averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, makes it a standout institution within the York Public Schools district.

York Middle School's student-teacher ratio of 8.9 to 1 is lower than the state average, allowing for more personalized attention for students. While the school's student population is predominantly white (92.24%), it does have a diverse student body, with representation from African American, Hispanic, and Asian students, as well as students of two or more races. The school's relatively low percentage of students (14.66%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests a relatively affluent student population, which could have implications for resource allocation and the availability of support services for students from lower-income families.

Despite the school's overall high performance, its chronic absenteeism rate of 16.0% is higher than the state's average, though still relatively low compared to national averages. This is an area that could benefit from further investigation and targeted interventions to ensure all students have consistent attendance and access to educational opportunities. Overall, York Middle School stands out as a shining example of educational excellence within the York Public Schools district.
